AH takes little to run. But that being said, the CPU is not great at all.

If your friend still has to buy the laptop i would trow another $100 at it. If he already owns the laptop, give it a shot and try it it out.

Regardless i hope it will ron the game.

I wouldn't worry about the CPU. It can run up to 4.1 GHz given the cooling is up to the task - which may not be the case in laptops.

I'm more concerned about the lack of any sort of video card. AH has never ran well with Intel video, also remember that the built-in video shares the standard DDR4 RAM of the system instead of using GDDR5 or better video RAM.

AH3 requires a gaming computer, be it a laptop or a desktop - not a top rig but still one that has a gaming level video card. AH2 relied more on the CPU which is why many long time players could use mediocre office laptops for playing.

The download is free and as long as you don't go online it won't cut into your free 2 weeks. Just have him try it.
